Accept turnaround plan or don't come back: Ajit Singh to AI pilots

New Delhi: With passenger carriage by Air India on both international and domestic flights increasing, the Ministry of Civil Aviation has hardened its stand against the agitating pilots.
“If the striking pilots do not accept the Dharamadhikari committee report, which is part of the turnaround plan for Air India, I do not think any point in them coming back. If terminated pilots want to come back, they will have to apply when Air India issues advertisements,” the Minister of Civil Aviation, Mr Ajit Singh, said on Wednesday.
The Dharmadikari Committee had been formed to bring about integration between the workforce of former international carrier Air India and domestic carrier Indian post the merger of the two state-owned airlines.
For the past one month, a section of Air India pilots belonging to the erstwhile international arm are on agitation protesting various management decisions including offering training on the Boeing 787 to erstwhile pilots of Indian.
